Media Streaming? Hackability?

I'd like to see some notes in the review or such on the Time Capsule's server and
media streaming capabilities, if any. I know it's designed to be the central
backup solution for Macs, but if I can get a 500GB File Server for $300, that's
not a bad deal.

Power Brick?

Is there a power brick or is the power supply contained in the unit?

Additional USB disks

From the pics on Apple website, looks like there is support of adding additional USB disks....Am I wrong?

USB Disk???

Buddy maybe you should clarify what a "USB Disk" is, because I have never heard that term before.

Apple Store in White Plains

After reading this post yesterday, I went to the Apple Store in White Plains early this morning so I could purchase my Time Capsule. The store sold out of both Time Capsule models yesterday shortly after they went on sale. The sales rep. said demand for the product was extremely high. He was kind enough to call the Apple Store at the Palisades Mall in West Nyack. The West Nyack store sold out of the 1 TB model but I was able to purchase the 500 GB model. My hunch is that other stores are going to experience similar demand for this exciting new product.

Not a really informative review

I do think you should really spend more time with it before even forming an
opinion. Seems like whenever you make a point its so vague and non-definitive
then you make the excuse you need to spend more time with it. So why don't
you do just that!

Agree...!!!!!

I do agree with you.
The article ddidn't tell me anything either but about someone to bought an
Apple Time Capsule and just unwrapped it from the box and just was trying to
plug it on the wall outlet...

Did you say anything...?

If you want to say something about anything, please wait to have something to
say about it.
Please don't make us loose our time.

Would like to see expansion capability

Was wondering if you can attach a USB hub and multiple USB drives to see if they
will work as 1) Expanded Time Machine capability and 2) Contiguous NAS
storage. Can you include that in your test?

Thanks

Is Apple paying you guys for this coverage???

Honestly, this is the third posting you guys have made about Time Capsule, and
you haven't even really fully tested or reviewed it yet!! The only reason I can see
such a relatively insignificant product getting such attention is that Apple is
paying you to boost it's exposure to your audience. It's really distasteful and
soils your reputation for providing legitimate, unbiased information.

Since WHEN is CNET "unbiased"???

According to the Redmond-haters, they LOVE MSFT too much.

According to the Apple bashers, they LOVE Cupertino too much.

As for all the rest of the companies...well, they probably LOVE THEM too much as well.

So I suppose they could be deemed "unbiased", considering all the LOVE they're throwing around.

However, reading completely through the report (not a review), it sounds like Time Capsule is getting SOME beatdown. So...not as much LOVE as you may have thought.

I Appreciate the Updates

I actually appreciate the updates, particularly this product. I wanted to get one
this weekend so I was hoping for as much info as possible before Monday. So
thank you for whatever you guys have uncovered so far about Time Capsule.
Please don't listen to d-bags who have nothing better to do than to come up
with conspiracy theories about how CNET/crave are shills for Apple.

I look forward to your full review.
